Why Does Everyone Love Conor?

The dude's an exciting fighter that's for sure, but how is he drawing such large numbers and fan base? His trash talk isn't really that good and he can be grating after a while. I just want to understand why he's so popular when more exciting fighters are not.

Who is more exciting? 19 wins 17 by knockout 1 decision. What kind of fight is exciting to you?

His fights are exciting, his fighting style is unique, he has KO power, he's brash, fairly articulate, clever, and talks a metric ton of shit and back it up against everyone but Mr. Diaz. He has the "it" factor.
